That smashing M.I.A. lady has her debut full length unleashed by the savvy peeps @ XL at last. Called 'Arular', this is a whip smart collection of 13 twisting, snaking, fresh & upbeat floor fillers. Sub booty bass, clakkity dancehall rhythms, hip shaking electroid beats, & a vibe that's just waiting to slay the coming summer party massive. There just isn't a weak track on this. To prove it, 'Galang' is tacked on at the end almost as an afterthought & we all know how fine that is! So expect this blasting from sound systems from Notting Hill to Glastonbury, underground free parties, overground house celebrations & all the way up to T in the park till way after the sun has gone back to sleep. A corker indeed! CD/Double LP
